Then I ended up getting a job somewhere that dosent even test, got lucky! So whats your weekly benefit rate if you dont mind me asking? Is it the same as your regular unemployment was?
The benefit rate of the extension is the same as it was during the original claim. I'm getting the max, $405 a wk. (before taxes).

I'm also receiving a small pension from my last job.
